Corn and Red Pepper Caesar Salad

This rendition of the Caesar salad bolsters the lettuce with added vegetables for a full-meal dish. Serve with fresh, warm baguettes and chilled fruit for a summertime repast. Dress as desired and refrigerate any leftover dressing.

Instructions:

If using fresh corn, carefully slice kernels from cobs and place in saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and rinse under cold water. Drain again and refrigerate until serving time.

Meanwhile, cook eggs in rapidly boiling water for 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and run under cold water until cool. Peel and set aside until serving time.

Trim off stem end of lettuce and rinse each leaf well. Dry thoroughly and break into bite-sized pieces. Place in salad bowl.

To make dressing, whisk together 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, mustard and salt and pepper. Set aside.
